[vet-mm] What do e-learning coordinators do ?

[Kevork Krozian]

Hi Litsa,

  I do worry about some of these statements in the job descriptions. Eg. 
"To identify new and emerging computer based learning technologies capable of enhancing the quality of the educational program and outcomes for all students in the College ".

Am I missing something here ?

The poor elearning coordinator has to identify what emerging technologies will enhance the educational programs of ALL students:
  1. Integral calculus in maths
  2. Appreciation of art 
  3. Robotics programming
  4. English literacy
  5. Analysis of geographical features in landscapes and satellite data
  6. CAD/CAM in technology

 should I go on ? 
Can such a person ever be qualified to identify such emerging technologies in ALL educational programs ?
Frankly whoever writes these job descriptions does not understand what an elearning coordinator can and can't do. As long as the word embed is in the statement somehow it makes it ok.

It is the job of the learning area manager and level manager (VELS speak) to identify the technology and then ask the elearning coordinator to assist with its implementation, staff PD and monitoring of uptake. The elearning coordinator has to understand the network, how software can be deployed and how it can be used and applied. If he or she does not then it is best to just let the network manager do this part of the job.

Some controversial statements or really a statement of how things can work efficiently with true successful outcomes ?

Happy to discuss and expand. 

Best Wishes

    Hi everyone, 

     

    Sorry for any cross posts and being off topic perhaps, but: 

    My school is creating a new position for an "e-learning coordinator" for next year. 

     

    Just out of interest, what do existing e-learning coordinators do in other schools ? 

    Run the moodle, and school website, organize ICT PD for staff on podcasting, vodcasting, and other things, Review software and technology, formulate strategic plans, team-teach helping teachers out with software and technology, and ??????

     

    Thanks, 

    Paul Pascoe
